I highly recommend staying away from flooded cell batteries.  They leak,
the
gasses are corrosive and not good for what is in the relay compartment
above
it, they tend to explode which is not something you want happening in the
passenger compartment of your car.  And did I mention that they leak?

The battery to get?  An Optima or whatever variety of gel technology that
suits your tastes.  If I were buying another Optima, I would consider the
deep cycle variety considering that they are making them with a decent
cold
crank amp rating.  Depending on how good your alternator is at low RPM,
the
car may be deep cycling the battery anyway.

You may be stretching the wiring harness around the wrong way.  There are
two styles of harnesses which vary mostly according to VIN.  The placement
of either is not intuitive.  It helps to have an assembled car to compare
with.

And as for buying anti-freeze, stay away from the orange stuff.  It tends
to
attack lead solder joints.  This may not be an issue if you have an OEM
aluminum radiator, but unless the manufacture specifies to use the orange
stuff then it is better to stay with the green stuff.
